I love to ride in and drive our car as well as attend car meetings and car shows. It is SO much fun! In a way it makes me feel like a child because the car reminds me of a hot wheels toy. It also describes me because I believe in diversity and uniqueness; the car is very different and has a unique design.

I love cats. They are my favorite animal. Not only house cats, but wild cats as well. I am very intrigued by they way they look and how they survive. My favorite nondomesticated cat is the tiger.

Christmas is my favorite time of year. I love the "excuse" to shop. I love and believe the true meaning behind Christmas. It is a time for friends, family, love, and laughter. I also love all of the beautiful/bright decorations/lights. The holiday music also brings so much joy to me. For all of these reasons Christmas time is my favorite time!
